Bathroom: Yellow, Black
A bathroom is a place that is no generally not decorated, and homeowners try to keep it as simple as possible. Because of this, lighter shades are a common choice. However, when the space lacks natural light, you can choose yellow color as it has the potential to recreate that feeling when combined with artificial light. It is particularly suitable for bathrooms with small windows. Just be sure to have sufficient artificial light in the space. Black is another ideal color for bathroom. Black ceiling, floor, and walls create a cozy surround of a bathroom space. Again, it is recommended that you have enough artificial light in your bathroom if you choose this color as it will keep the potential dark-space-discomfort at bay.
When choosing a color scheme for the rooms in your house, keep in mind that you don’t have to use the exact same colors in all spaces. However, it is important to connect the colors through the home. Color continuity is important as it creates a harmonious, cohesive look and feel because the eye flows smoothly from one room to another.
